Floya

Floya is a Teeswater sheep breeder in Chana, IL, northwest Illinois near Freeport. She raises her flock following established breed association guidelines, with routine health testing and pasture rotational grazing to support strong genetics. She selects breeding stock with an emphasis on fleece density and temperament to ensure fine wool and manageable flock members. Lambs are socialized from birth in a pasture-based setting where they learn gentle handling and exposure to varied terrain, fostering calm temperaments.

The farm’s history of sustainable practices is reflected in its fine locks prized by hand spinners and fiber artists. Floya’s commitment to transparent husbandry includes detailed record keeping and open farm visits for prospective adopters. With attention to both animal welfare and fleece quality, she offers Teeswater sheep that suit small homesteads and fiber-focused operations. Breeding records track lineage and health outcomes to maintain transparency and long-term flock wellness.
